3 players right for the NY Mets if Adam Ottavino’s Freddy Peralta theory is right

Former New York Mets pitcher Adam Ottavino suggested on the Foul Territory podcast that big-market pressure contributed to Freddy Peralta's struggles in New York. Peralta had spent his major league career with the Milwaukee Brewers before playing in New York, and Ottavino noted the difficulty players face when adjusting to markets like New York, Philadelphia, or Boston.

In response to Ottavino's theory, the article evaluates potential free agent targets with proven major-market experience. New York Yankees first baseman Paul Goldschmidt is highlighted as a potential right-handed hitting option for the Mets, having posted a .997 OPS against left-handed pitching.
